The Silent Secrets: The Arabella Academy Chronicles

by Ashley Gallegos

There was a reason why Lily Smith was so quiet during her time at Arabella Academy. She was always taught not to draw attention to her family’s questionable ways of making ends meet. However, she can’t help asking her own questions when her best friend friend from high school falls prey to a ponzi scheme that she suspects her family may be involved in. Lily discovers an undercover cop in her family’s midst and must decide if he is her saving grace or her downfall.

Hmmm..... How do I write this review? The ending is so crucial to this book but I don't want to give it away because once you read a spoiler, you can't un-ring the bell. Let me just start with the fact that it was not what I expected yet everything I hoped for and more. It answered so many questions that I had from the first book in the series yet could completely stand alone as a story. Ashley Gallegos as an author is my new obsession and I just can't get enough!!!!

Ahhhhh! This book was awesome! I want to re-read the first book, The Poor Rich Girl: The Arabella Academy Chronicles, so I can see again how this all went down. Usually I HATE when there are is a series of books that has a continuation of a story between two separate stories but this was masterfully done. The author really made the connection in a way that made me want to call my friends to talk about it RIGHT THEN! Haha! I loved it! Now I'm just anxiously awaiting the next installment.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book! Not sure I put enough loves there. Seriously! This was the kind of book that you sit up with at night with a warm quilt and a hot cup of cocoa with little marshmallows. It was a feel good collection of mini romance tales of friendship that all intertwined throughout their own happily ever afters. I can see this book staying on my bedside table for the days when things don't go my way and rapidly becoming dogeared from frequent reading. Definitely a new favorite for sure! Highly recommend to anyone who likes fiction, romance, or HEA!

***I read this in the complete collection.
